Valor Friday
This week must be another re-post, but as we are nearing the 106th anniversary of the end of World War I, we’re gonna re-look at the tragic death of Henry Gunther. An American, he was the last official casualty of World War I. He died one minute before the Armistice ended the war 102 years […]
Soldier injured during Hamas Pier mission dies
One of the three soldiers injured, 23-year-old Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley, during Biden’s Hamas Pier mission has died of his injuries. Stanley was from Marion, South Carolina and served as a motor transport operator assigned to the 7th Transportation Brigade Expeditionary at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.

Army pranks Air Force
The ongoing rivalry between services… the stuff from which legends are made. And between the academies? Even better. This week, the focus moved from stealing Bill the Goat or Army academy mules to the Air Force. There isn’t as much history to work with there, partially because they just haven’t been around that long, […]
CENTCOM CG under investigation for shoving Airman

Petraeus, Mattis, and Austin are among […]

As I spent all yesterday going between doctor’s appointments (would you believe I slipped a disc in my back from playing pickleball?) and dealing with trick or treaters, this week’s article will be a repeat. Robert Femoyer’s incredible act of gallantry is worth repeating. There’s even a nexus to Halloween, as yesterday would be his […]
Where is his Chain of Command?
Ok, we all know that Ft. Hood Cavazos was a horrible place, so we renamed it to stop all the hinky stuff going on. Well, seems that a new name hasn’t made up for severe problems. Sgt. Greville Clarke, 31, was arraigned Monday, accused of breaking into the rooms of five women, robbing them, holding […]
Saturday updates
Gonna dredge up a couple of old ones. Remember Kim Gardner? She was the over-zealous St. Louis prosecutor (of the George Soros kind) who effectively got Bo Greitens removed from office. (Well, that, and married Bo not keeping it in his pants.) In 2018, she charged former Gov. Eric Greitens, then a rising star in […]
